Abstract
Dr. Gr. was hastily summoned to a 19-year-old 1 woman in labor, who had an attack of eclamptic convulsions. The pregnancy proceeded normally, the young woman, who had been completely healthy before, walked about a mile on foot, from her to her mother, where she felt sick, she fell to the floor and began to have convulsions. Dr. Gr. found her unconscious; the child is dead, lying between the legs of the parturient woman; by cutting the umbilical cord, the patient was taken to bed; a few minutes later came the afterbirth. The eclamptic attacks did not stop. G. chloroformed the patient, poured 1 drachma chloral-hydrate per rectum: nothing helped. Then Dr. Gibson bled the mother at 12 oz. The attacks became shorter and easier, and after 6 hours the postpartum woman regained consciousness, and the next day she was out of danger.
